Aim to snuggle, not muzzle

In all my work with special needs dogs, I think this holds true. If our starting point is muzzling a dog because of their breed, and they are unable to express their natural behaviors or experience the joy of freedom, then we sow the seeds of aggression.

If we aim to make all dogs companions and we work towards socializing and training them, we get the opposite.

Very true 🙂 And simple -maybe that’s why people don’t believe it works, some people need some spectacular, magical tricks to turn the vicious beast (a.k.a dog) into a submissive slave. Well, as I’m not a fan of magic or slavery I prefer the ‘simple’ way of cooperation, understanding and trust : )
